2010 Haiti earthquake

January of 1994, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit the San Fernando valley in Los Angelas, CA. In January of 2010 a 7 magnitude earthquake hit 15 miles south of the city of Port-au-Prince Haiti. Both earthquakes occurred in extremely population dense areas. Both were similar in strength. However, while the Haitian earthquake killed close to 300,000 people by some accounts, the Northridge Earthquake killed 57. While some argue the actual death toll to be as low as 84,000 in Haiti, that is still in…

Six years ago, the country of Haiti was high by earthquake that killed thousands. The deaths occurred due to lack of infrastructure and warning of the earthquake and its 59 aftershocks. This occurred due to a transform movement between the Caribbean and North American plates ("Magnitude 7.0 - HAITI REGION", n.d.). If there had been more warning of this earthquake, potentially thousands of lives could have been saved. There are predictions based on historical earthquakes that can help scientists…

different about things around them. In the year of 2010 an earthquake happened in Haiti and I am proud to say that I am a survivor but when the tragedy occurred all the reporters started talking and announcing how bad the country got and how we got poor. I’m not saying it’s false but every country has a poor side. The United States isn’t rich all over the place; they have some bad parts also called the ghetto. When many Americans hear the word “Haiti,” many negative things will come to mind:…

January 12, 2010, Haiti was impacted by a strong earthquake of a magnitude of 7.0. This earthquake was the strongest this nation had faced in 200 years, leaving more than 200,000 people dead, and over 895,000 people homeless. Haiti was already considered as one of the poorest countries, and with the impact of the earthquake, most of the limited amount of riches the country had, were loss. After this tragedy happened, a lot of people started making donations to aid the people of Haiti. One of…

Its beaches are spectacular, sporting white sands and crystal blue waters. The people of Haiti are just as vibrant, always loud and joyful. The…

mind and comes home with a disorder. A little girl is raped, and now she must live in a constant fear of men and she goes through all the effects of rape. Every case of PTSD is sad and deserves help, for example the issues Haiti is having right now. In 2010, Haiti had an earthquake that killed over 300,00 people and left over a million people homeless. A group teamed together and started the project called “Relief for the Spirit”, and their job was to run a therapy group to teach coping…

In 2010, a seven point zero magnitude earthquake hit this small country in the Caribbean. In Haiti, this was a devastating natural disaster that has effected the country even to this day. Ever since the earthquake the economic infrastructure of the country has been severely struggling (Massive Earthquake Hits Haiti, n.d.).

Haiti, a Caribbean country on the island of Espanola, is a promising site for development and industry. Although the country has had some hardships, such as natural disasters and historic conflicts with France and the U.S., it has been able to step up in the industrial ladder as a textile-producing and sugar refining country. This is promising for its economy, and should be able to help the development of the country under certain conditions, for example, Haiti being able to trade with more…
